Previous reports suggested Berger was cleared of his concussion earlier this week, but obviously that wasn't the case. He sat out Friday's practice and is looking doubtful for Sunday's game at Jacksonville. Nick Easton will likely draw another start at center.

Pettigrew is believed to be healthy, but the Lions had washed their hands of him. He's now available to the highest bidder. A productive receiving tight end at Oklahoma State, Pettigrew was the 20th overall pick in the 2009 draft. He never developed into anything more than a blocking tight end in six years with Detroit.

Jordan Reed (shoulder) is questionable for Week 14 against the Eagles.

He was reportedly in pain at Thursday's practice but was back out there on Friday and has a reasonable chance to play on Sunday after missing last week's game with a sprained AC joint. Reed will be a must-start if he gets the green light. Washington plays at 1 PM ET on Sunday.

Sanu didn't practice all week and never had much chance of playing against the Rams. With Julio Jones (turf toe) a game-time decision, Taylor Gabriel should be in line for his biggest workload of the season.

Julio Jones (turf toe, questionable) will be a game-time decision Sunday in Week 14 against the Rams.

Jones is dealing with turf toe and didn't do much at practice this week. It's a dicey situation for fantasy owners with the Falcons not playing until 4:25 PM ET on Sunday. Coach Dan Quinn is "anticipating" that Jones will be available on Sunday, though he'll obviously be at far less than 100 percent. Fantasy owners need to have a backup plan in place. The Falcons have a great matchup against the hapless Rams but may not be able to take advantage of it with Jones hurting and Mohamed Sanu already ruled out with a groin injury.

Panthers LE Charles Johnson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 14.

Johnson has been having a great year, particularly as a run defender. His loss was felt as Thomas Rawls gashed the Panthers last Sunday night, and will remain a significant factor this week against Melvin Gordon.

Luke Kuechly (concussion) is questionable for Week 14 against the Chargers.

Mario Addison (foot) and Kurt Coleman (concussion) also drew the questionable tag. Kuechly was a limited participant at practice this week. All signs point to him suiting up this week after missing the previous two games with a concussion. Obviously it would be a huge boost to Carolina's defense. Kuechly is arguably the best middle linebacker in football when healthy.
